Philosophy

At dragonfly Family Day Home Agency Ltd. we recognize the importance of the early years development as a valuable foundation on which children build a healthy future. Children are confident, resourceful, and capable learners.

Families are viewed as partners, collaborators and advocates for their children and are encouraged to share their culture, language and experiences with providers and staff. We have a deep commitment to the power of diversity. We respect the dignity, worth and individuality of each person.

We value the relationships children have with family day home providers. Committed, passionate, knowledgeable, and creative providers are essential to providing a positive learning environment.

We provide an environment where children are able to learn and develop through inquiry based play, exploration, and active learning in a safe and caring environment.

We strive to help children build a sense belonging and self-worth by developing connections with peers, staff, community and their natural environment.

We encourage community stewardship and environmental sustainability by gaining knowledge and understanding of our environment through daily outdoor activity and exploration.

We are committed to ongoing professional development to develop our skills and abilities. Staff and providers value and respect each other and the contributions they make to our team.

We coordinate with and utilize existing resources in the community, collaborating with all stake holders to generate a culture of quality practices in early childhood. ​
